Prudent Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Congratulations!! What a great accomplishment! We're counting down until we have our day next year!

mommylawyer Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 That is AMAZING! Congratulations!

Sunday, Ben jumped from a tree platform -- like 10 feet up -- and landed partially on his face, so he ended up with an emergency room visit with a ct scan, and then we were sent to another hostpital for someone else to read the ct-scan. So, tha'ts probably $4,000 right there. I still don't understand why we had to transport him to another hospital just to get a radiologist to read a ct scan -- from his house.

Denise in Florida Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Congratulations. That must feel great. I had this as a goal but the last few years have pushed it back for awhile. Thanks for the encouragement. It helps to know people who are doing this. Most of my friends just look at me and ask 'why'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
